Preview: KU faces rapid rematch against OSU

When the two schools meet for a rematch at Allen Fieldhouse Tuesday night, Kansas will find Oklahoma State in a decidedly different place than it left the Cowboys just two weeks earlier. Since getting blown out 90-66 by the Jayhawks in a tepid Gallagher-Iba Arena, OSU took Kansas State to the wire in Manhattan (but blew a 10-point lead with 10 minutes to go), faded in the final minutes against TCU (after losing ...

Snyder will no longer be on KU football staff

Sean Snyder, who served as a special assistant to head football coach Lance Leipold, will no longer be on the Kansas coaching staff, a KU spokesperson confirmed Saturday. Snyder, who is starting a personal coaching business, took on a wide-ranging role for the Jayhawks during his lone season on staff in 2023. What Leipold called his “first and foremost” responsibility was to assist Taiwo Onatolu’s special ...

KU can't complete rally, falls 79-75 at No. 23 Iowa State

Ames, Iowa — Kansas coach Bill Self had said before going to Ames that Iowa State’s ability to earn additional possessions with its defensive play, and turn those into extra points, made the Cyclones a formidable foe. At a series of pivotal moments in the second half Saturday, they did just that. After the Jayhawks tied the game in the opening moments after the break, ISU’s Tamin Lipsey hit a 3-pointer ...

Poor conference start has KU needing to win more difficult games down the stretch

Ames, Iowa — This year’s Kansas men’s basketball team finds itself in increasingly poor company. By beginning their league schedule 4-3, thanks to this month’s stunning losses at UCF and West Virginia and then Saturday’s nail-biter at Iowa State, the Jayhawks have matched the worst conference start of the Bill Self era. The last season in which KU started 4-3 in the Big 12 Conference was 2020-21, a ...

KU swim and dive takes on Arkansas in home meet, drops 178-128 result

Back in the pool for its final home meet of the season — but also its first competition against another school during the spring semester — the Kansas swimming and diving team took on Arkansas on Friday afternoon at Robinson Natatorium. The familiar foes squared off for the 37th time, and their matchup finished with an increasingly familiar result, as the Razorbacks claimed their 14th victory in 15 tries ...

Preview: Iowa State's defense will test KU men's basketball

Outside of Johnny Furphy’s breakout performance Monday, the latest in a string of several impressive showings for the freshman, Kansas’ game against Cincinnati was rather lackluster for the Jayhawks’ offense. The rest of the team shot 38.6% — right below the 39.3% to which KU held UC as a team. Of the Jayhawks’ two All-American candidates, Kevin McCullar Jr. willed his way to 20 points but went an ...
